Bulgakov Museum in Moscow

The Bulgakov Museum occupies apartment 50 at 10 Bolshaya Sadovaya Street and displays the home of the celebrated writer with his personal belongings and handwritten manuscripts. The exhibition documents his daily life and literary work during the years he lived there.

Bulgakov moved into this apartment in 1921 and began writing here, creating some of his most important works that would become classics of Russian literature. The residence was the setting for his most intense creative period before he left the city.

The museum preserves the apartment where Bulgakov lived during his most creative period, offering insight into how a writer spent his daily life in early Soviet Moscow. The rooms are arranged to show where he worked and how he structured his time.

The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday and visitors can explore the spaces at their own pace or join a guided tour. Wear comfortable shoes as there are stairs to navigate when moving between different areas.

The stairwells and exterior walls feature graffiti with quotations and character drawings from The Master and Margarita, created during the perestroika period. This street art transforms the staircase into an informal gallery that keeps Bulgakov's legacy alive in unexpected ways.
